Arend,
I was able to try it this afternoon.
My hostapd is still:
# interface and driver
interface=ap0
driver=nl80211
# WIFI-Config
ssid=deskSAE
channel=1
hw_mode=g
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=SAE
wpa_pairwise=CCMP
sae_password=secret123
sae_groups=19
ieee80211w=2
sae_pwe=0
and I can still connect from my phone to this AP.
I tried this as my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="deskSAE"
sae_password="secret123"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=SAE
pairwise=CCMP
ieee80211w=2
sae_check_mfp=1
}
and when I try to connect, I get:
# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
Line 10: unknown network field 'sae_check_mfp'.
Line 11: failed to parse network block.
Failed to read or parse configuration
'/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf'.
: CTRL-EVENT-DSCP-POLICY clear_all
my version of wpa_supplicant is
# wpa_supplicant -v
wpa_supplicant v2.10

I will build the latest from git and await your patch.
